Why I Blog

I recently read a post by Andrew Sullivan who has great points about blogging.  Obviously this blog is required of my English classes throughout high school.  After I finished high school, I didn't plan on continuing blogging at all.  I had no plans on doing it.  However, as I read the post I realized that blogging can be a great thing or a bad thing.  On one hand, you have the freedom of speech to say whatever you want regarding something you have strong opinions on.  It could be about sports, art, politics, etc.  But it also has the potential of being a lighthearted sharing of interests.  I enjoy the second option.  There are some serious bloggers out there who have thousands of views on their posts talking about serious topics, but I prefer the idea of having fun with it and sharing my interests.  It has been a big part of my life through high school but I doubt I will continue blogging just because it can get too serious sometimes.
